The city of Leeds will host the grand finale on May 6, with a spectacular conclusion on The Headrow in the exact same spot where the Tour de France began in 2014.

The race organisers, Welcome to Yorkshire and ASO, have now released the timings, which have been calculated by anticipating the peloton’s average speed, however these are subject to change depending on elements such as wind speed, direction and how aggressively the riders race.

The women’s race

The second stage of the women’s race will be 77.1 miles long and will commence in Barnsley at 09:00. This stage will follow the exact same route as the men’s race from Worsbrough at 09:10.

Riders will tackle the Côte de Blacker Hill and the first intermediate sprint which will take place in Swinton. After that there will be a second sprint in Scholes before the Old Pool Bank climb and then the winner of the race will be crowned at the Cow and Calf just after 12.30pm.

The men’s race

The newly added fourth stage of the men’s race will take place on Sunday May 6, from Halifax to Leeds and will be 117.7 miles long.
